Bought mine second hand. Dealer had to import it from another dealer, so didn't get things knocked off but did get things included.

On the forecourt cars (some of which were nicely specced but the wrong colour), dealer was trying to knock £2-2.5k off the forecourt price to entice me. I stuck to my guns because I wanted a black car, otherwise I'd be driving a fully-specced red 5dr ED30.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

....

I didn't bother to negotiate as back in 05 there wasn't much, if any, discount to be had. Besides, I've been getting huge discounts/freebies from my VW dealer ever since - No complaints from me.

Anyway, I never negotiate anything and I often get given discount and goodies following on without asking.

When I was running my own business, if someone asked for discount I'd politely show them the door.

£500 of the dealer price for a late May 2008 registered 5 door, manual, edition 30 with 6000 miles on the clock, collecting April 3rd. I do have to pay for the car before 31 March due to their sales targets.

To add to this,  via my employer I have access to a company who secure cars from group stocks, but they could not find any cars of the same spec at even the same price.

Got 1 % off - bought one of the last ED30's dealer stated they had 9 cars in my spec available and that they would sell them whether I bought one or not  :sad: - think I was a little naiive - my first new car experience and all !

only wiggled my way out of £200 but i would have paid more for her, the dealer was a total legend knowing i had been after a Candy .:R32 for almost 2 years and calling me the moment i could have one, threw in a few goodies for the car rather than discounts, very happy though, no complaints
